BY DAMON SMITH. PHILIPPE PETIT IN MAN ON WIRE. James Marsh has wrestled before with subjects — both fictional and real life — whose obsessions have fueled eccentric and, at times, even extreme behavior. In The Burger and the King (1996), based on David Adler‘s book, he chronicled Elvis Presley‘s lifelong habit of compulsive eating.
"Man on Wire," one of the most talked-about documentaries of the year, tells the story of how a young Frenchman named Philippe Petit illegally walked on a tight wire between the two towers of the World Trade Center on Aug. 7, 1974. It won the audience award and the best documentary prize at Sundance 2008, and is a superb film that works like a thriller.
After dancing for nearly an hour on the wire, he was arrested, taken for psychological evaluation, and brought to jail before he was finally released. This extraordinary documentary incorporates Petit's personal footage to show how he overcame seemingly insurmountable challenges to achieve the artistic crime of the century. — Official Synopsis.
